| Zusammenfassung: | Muhammad Isma'il Isfahani's Mirror Case is featured. This mirror case is executed in Isfahani's signature Europeanizing style. Painted in minute detail, the scenes on its three surfaces commemorate the momentous diplomatic meeting between the crown prince Nasir al-Din Mirza, future ruler of Iran, and the Russian tsar Nicholas I in Erivan, Armenia, in 1838, shortly after Iranian territories in the Caucasus were lost to the Russians. Signed and dated, the work not only documents but also celebrates this critical event in Perso-Russian history with artistic mastery and refinement. |
